Getting Solution Name and Release

Classic Servoy
1

I would like to show the name of my solution and currently applied release number. Is there a way to set a global with these values?

Let me try this question again with more explanation. I frequently move from release to release during testing, and just as frequently get confused as to which release is loaded because the forms are identical. I would like to show somewhere in the header or footer of the forms the name of the solution and which release is loaded. Is there a way to have servoy retrieve this information and allow it to be loaded into a variable?

In addition to this: Wouldn’t is be cool if you could have these values show in the bottom of the form, in the same line where you can see if there is a transaction open etc (Most applications call this the Statusbar, maybe this is the standard lingo…).

so, basically, my question is: Can we alter the content of this bar in Seroy, to show, for example ReleaseNo, curretn user, time etc?

YESSSSSSSSS
Would be a great option :idea:

I’m a little confused - don’t you have to load the release from the repository in the Developer version and activate the current release from either the repository or the web interface of the Application Server?

So, then you KNOW what release is active?

Here’s what I do: I put a label on the splash screen (and increment it with each release) - so I know what version I’m looking at (I put it in a method to set a global that I use on the “onLoad” event of the first form in the solution). So far, it’s worked VERY well in my solutions.

Hope this helps,
